Just seen this deal for Arq backup https://cloud.arqbackup.com $29.99 for a year, 1Tb and unlimited computers after it was recommended by a friend.

Just wondering how you all handle your backup routines.

My Indigo server is also my main Photo store too so those are the main things I need to backup.

Google Drive handles all my documentsDropbox a few sets of shared folders from other people and previously my Indigo DB but with latest install I've kept it truly localI don't currently use icloud for anything other than Photo's backups. I pay the £5.99 a month or so for 2Tb to handle my photos.I don't backup my machine currently as it's quick enough to download the 15 or so applications albeit I'm very conscious that my Indigo DB etc I don't think is currently backed up anywhere.

And now I've jumped in with Arq thinking that even if I don't use it for me I'll use for family members.

Also wondering if I should be using SuperDuper for a bootable backup or similar.

I do as well, so I installed Google's Backup and Sync and let it backup the computer, including the Indigo Server directory. Seems to work decently well... And of course use Time Machine locally too. It goes into a separate "folder" on Google Drive ("Computers") so doesn't clutter up documents and such.

Backblaze Computer backup backs up to their servers and backups are encrypted on your Mac before being sent to the Backblaze. Backblaze provide an App for this purpose. The only downside is that if you need to recover a backup you need to send the key to Backblaze to recover the data.

ARQ via Backblaze B2 is encrypted on your Mac and retrieved encrypted so only you have the key.

The costings need looking at because Backblaze Computer backup is unlimited whilst with Backblaze B2 you pay for what you upload and download. In my initial calculations I think that ARQ using Backblaze B2 will be cheaper.
